Title: Best Movies While Tripping on Acid
Post by: ShieLdz on January 29, 2012, 04:07 am
I know, I know, music + LSD =  ;D  But I'm a HUGE movie fan and I love watching movies tripping.
I've found a couple movies to be particularly awesome:

2001 A space odyssey - obvious pick; anything Kubrick is my fav

Fantasia - also an obvious pick

The Shining - my absoultue favorite while tripping, the depth of field and parallel lines provide wicked visuals 

Apocalypse now - so surreal it makes it total sense

Blade Runner - trippy lighting provides good vis

Wall-e - no dialouge, beautiful images and light-hearted fare...love it


Any others?

I watched The Day The Earth Stood Still on a somewhat high dose of MXE. I think that movie would be perfect for acid. Just be sure to get the original, not the recently remade version.

I should also add that this past weekend I dropped a tab of Gammagoblin's L. and watched Back to the Future 1&2. The first one was excellent! It had me feeling all nostalgic. The second one was shit. Biff's overacting ruined it for me. B2TF 2 would have been way better on cocaine.

@lvl  they made a movie out of naked lunch! was it good? That book was totally fucked!! Burroughs is a nut! lol    ;D

Seconding Waking Life. Saw it for the first time on acid - brilliant film! Visual style is just perfect for acid.
A Scanner Darkly too but it's not as good as Waking Life to watch while tripping.

The City of Lost Children. Watched this w/ only subtitles and playing Shpongle as the soundtrack throughout the movie. By far my best acid & movie experience. Lots of great suggestions in here though, I'll be checking out Waking Life on my next trip.

I hate to say it, but I thought Waking Life was disappointing. It was just too dense. There was waay too much dialogue there, it just sucked me right out of my trip. Plus, it's impossible to understand tripping - hell, it's hard to understand not tripping. lol  ;D

Still, I love WL! If you haven't seen it, SEE IT!

This may be very subjective, but Across the Universe was the first movie I watched and it was the first time I tripped on acid.  It was completely beautiful.  The movie is a musical, and I hate musicals.  I detest musicals, but this movie spoke to me while tripping & touched me in a profound way.

Post by: Atticus on January 30, 2012, 01:39 am
Yellow Submarine's an obvious choice but still worth looking into. However there's a 1976 French children's film I'm sure a few of you are familiar with called 'The Twelve Tasks of Asterix' which is definitely a little psychedelic at some parts and well worth a watch while high or tripping.

There are some parts of Enter the Void that would most certainly not be pleasant. If you have a strong mind and stomach it's worth a shot. But if you are unprepared this movie could fuck you up, and definitely ruin your trip.


lol you say that then go on to recommend superjail...

Title: Re: Best Movies While Tripping on Acid
Post by: gg on February 02, 2012, 01:10 am
I've been waiting for somebody to ask this!

My experiences with a few movies:

Fantasia, it was the older one - It was pleasant and the animation was nice to watch. I didn't like certain parts of it, but it didn't ruin my trip.

Microcosmos - This was amazing. It's all close ups of bugs wandering around in a meadow.

Baraka - Watch this if you're into watching heavy stuff while on acid. I felt like a terrible human being by the end of it, but at least I was aware of it.

Cat Soup - The animation was fun to watch, but the overall tone of the movie is very dark. It has a message about humanity at the end of it that is depressing. It's like Baraka in that way.

Xavier: Renegade Angel - It was weird. I don't recommend this because it makes you feel crazy, especially when characters break the fourth wall. I also can't unsee how distorted the Adult Swim logo looked at the end of it.

The Animation Show - Some of the sad sketches were painful to watch. The rest were enjoyable.

Here is a list of movies/ shows that I think may be good on acid, but who knows:

Retro Game Master
Spirited Away
The Cat Returns
Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (Iffy, for some scenes are sad.)
The Complete Monterery Pop Festival
The Problem Solverz
True Stories
Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2
The Iron Giant
Batman: The Movie
Most Pixar movies
The Super Mario Brothers Movie
Old cartoons that are corny like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure or The Super Mario Brothers Super Show.

Nightmare mode: (It's a joke, please proceed with caution when taking lsd.)
Brazil
Grave Of The Fireflies
Twin Peaks
Bronson
Naked Lunch
The Plague Dogs
Pan's Labyrinth
Twilight Of The Cockroaches
Fantastic Planet

gg, nice list !!! I want to see a lot of those now that you menetion it... Brazil, Batman, and I keep hearing about microcosoms and baraka too. But let me ask you gg, have you seen The Shining on LSD yet?? I thoght it was the best. Also have you tried Fantasia 2000, I thought it was a lot more 'fun' in disney sense of the word. plus i heard the first one is for mescaline not LSD, so says an old old school head

I don't know about into the void, but honestly The Wall sends me into a bad trip. Anytime I so much as think about Syd Barrett when I'm tripping out I suddenly become really freaked out and think that I'm frying my brain or I'm giong to end up stuck in a perma-trip for the rest of my life or something dumb like that. Also that scene where he breaks the razor-blade in half with his bare fingers makes me sick  :-\  but the wall at the end is sooooooo tight!!!!!!!!!

WOW, I can't believe this thread has three pages and not a SINGLE mention of Labyrinth.

No, not Pan's Labyrinth.  LABYRINTH.  WITH DAVID BOWIE and jailbait Jennifer Connelly.  Look it up.

The movie is great even sober or just plain drunk/high...on acid it's MIND-BLOWING!!

Cube - not so much for any kind of visual appeal, but just because the dialogue and the story make so much sense on a whole different level when you're tripping.

I've never seen The Shining on acid. I'm not sure whether I'd have the mental strength to do it. :S Was it good? I haven't seen Fantasia 2000 under the influence of lsd either, but I would like to give it a shot.

The Big Lebowski while high IS FUCKING AMAZING. The stuff they say is just so funny (NOONE FUCKS WITH THE JESUS) =)

Idk about on acid though, i think it would touch you on a spiritual level though since lebowski is all about letting go of the ego and just "abiding" hahaha.

Dude trust me on this gg  ;), watch the shining next time you drop. It is not nearly as scary as you'd think...actually not scary at all, nobody dies and the only "scary" thing about the movie is that jack goes crazy, but on LSD he's just funny. Also, long held shots + parrallel lines = visual delight I consider it the ultimate LSD movie and I need someone to back me up on it. WATCH IT!!

When you do watch it, pay close attention - watch for all the native american themes like the fact that the hotel was built on an "indian burial ground"; notice the color of everyone's wardrobe before they get to the hotel and watch how they change (red/white/blue vs earth tones); listen for indian chanting noises at key moments; also Jack meets the devil at 66 mins 6 secs; and what about when jack talks to ghosts?? - is he really talking to ghosts or is he talking to a mirror? idk!!  I could go on and on...Kubrick was a genius and the evidence is in the shining!

I think the key here is to not watch movies while you're peaking, it'd definitely ruin a perfectly good trip agreed. On the other hand during the come up or the comedown (while you still got some good open-eyed visuals going on) movies can be badass...long as you pick the right ones
Title: Re: Best Movies While Tripping on Acid
Post by: Dazarius on February 05, 2012, 09:17 pm
Be careful with watching movies while come up too if you're seeking for great insights from tripping. But yeah, it's not the rule as sometimes coincidences and signs on acid are kind enough.

HERO - A brilliant movie with the perfect storyline and visuals to go with a trip

Monty Python: The Meaning Of Life - Fucking hilarious while tripping, so refreshing while tripping too!

Watch either of those and you are SET!

Requiem is one of my favorite movies and I have actually watched it while tripping. Pretty intense but I have seen it so many times, kinda used to by now.

One of the best ever was a live Pink floyd laser light show dvd, dont know which one though. Always enjoy watching kind of the hill while first coming up and it never fails to be incredibly hilarious. I would second fantasia, big lebowski, and baraka or planet earth all of which I really enjoyed while tripping. Anything that boggles your mind like the universe series or journey to the edge of the universe by nat geo is pretty entertaining for winding down, especially if indoors on mescaline.

I see people mentioning 2001, a scanner darkly, and blade runner, all of which I have immensely enjoyed and would recommend one to trip during. 2001 has become 'spiritual' to me through viewings on high LSD and MXE doses. It is just fucking fantastic.

Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is great tripping, although I think Time Bandits is my favorite Gilliam work.

I would definitely recommend The Fountain and Enter the Void, but only if you are prepared for that type of experience. Definitely wiki em' first. Oh, and Bronson is pretty crazy, too.

Anything Kubrick is great for an acid trip, really. This has been mentioned before, for sure

Anything Nolan will induce a mind-fuck, but sometimes it's hard to follow all the dialogue on a really intense trip. I really liked Inception tripping, though.

Here's a few more I cannot recommend more highly:
-Oldboy
-Animatrix
-Ghost in the Shell
-Paprika
-The Tree of Life

enter the void is pretty damn intense. long but good. imaganarium is just a great film. I agree with everything on your list.

one film I did not enjoy while tripping was The Cable Guy. the humor was way too dark while tripping if you ask me. I mean, I love that film sober, always have. it just kind of freaked me out while tripping though. I dunno if anyone else has weird reactions like this to specific films, but it definitely was not a good time. ha

Well, friend, it seems we have similar tastes. Growing up in a family of casual cinephiles has helped foster a love and appreciation of film that I hope will remain throughout all ages :)

But, serously, I cannot even fuckig imagine watching The Cable Guy tripping lol. That movie scared me as a kid and it may induce bad memories / vibes haha :P

Jim Carey is great, but I feel like psychedelics would make me scared of him. He scares me a little sober, to be honest :P

Not to spam, but I forgot to mention another recommendation that I think everyone should try while on acid:

Anything Miyazaki!!!

Seriously, watch Princess Mononoke tripping, it's great. So is Howl's Moving Castle.

Honestly, I would suggest people watch more anime while tripping, it's cool!

Yesss kubrick is god! I have watched all his films innumerable times (except the less kubrickian ones: the killing, killer's kiss, and path's of glory) and I've have made a 'spiritual connection' with pretty much all of them. IMHO Kubrick's films are "high art" and they can reveal a lot of subjective truth to viewer/audience and make very real connections in the same fashion that high art does (with or w/o drugs, the drugs are just a short-cut to make the 'truth' reveal itself faster  haha).

Old boy was a damn good movie but I dont about watching that tripping. the plot was twisted, especially the climax, abd the foreign language/subtitles would be too much for me. when I'm tripping I can't even handle brit films like anything guy ritchie, trainspotting, BRONSOn, not even Clockwork ornge. But assuming your fondness for terry Gilliam, I'm guessing your not American...just a guess

Blade runner wass also sick tripping (even sober). I don't know if you saw the workprint version (with the voice-over) but I actually thought it was better than original tripping.

I can also vouch for Tree of Life, the first 30mins were fucking mind blowing!! [I think] T.O.L. was supposed be told from the perspective of god, so the camera angles were out-of-this-world (literally) and there were all these crazy  jump cuts from all these beautiful landscapes here on earth to these massive cosimc collisions somewhere in the vastness of our universe! It was crazy - good for believers and non-believers alike  ;)
Title: Re: Best Movies While Tripping on Acid
Post by: ShieLdz on February 07, 2012, 11:29 pm
I would also reccomend any of the serdio leone westerns - dollars would be soo badass tripping!

Willy wonka too, the original...don't know if that was mentioned yet but i'd be same if after 4 pages nobody said willy wonka. speaking of which...

@perky, totally agree charlie and the choc factory. I felt the same about Alince in wonderland too. The characters were so bizarre they gave me bad vibes. However, DO WATCH CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY ON MUSHROOMS. there's abig difference trust me! Same goes for all tim burton flicks, save em for the boomers  ;)

But let me ask you gg, have you seen The Shining on LSD yet?? I thoght it was the best. Also have you tried Fantasia 2000, I thought it was a lot more 'fun' in disney sense of the word. plus i heard the first one is for mescaline not LSD, so says an old old school head

I've never seen The Shining on acid. I'm not sure whether I'd have the mental strength to do it. :S Was it good? I haven't seen Fantasia 2000 under the influence of lsd either, but I would like to give it a shot.



Dude trust me on this gg  ;), watch the shining next time you drop. It is not nearly as scary as you'd think...actually not scary at all, nobody dies and the only "scary" thing about the movie is that jack goes crazy, but on LSD he's just funny. Also, long held shots + parrallel lines = visual delight I consider it the ultimate LSD movie and I need someone to back me up on it. WATCH IT!!

When you do watch it, pay close attention - watch for all the native american themes like the fact that the hotel was built on an "indian burial ground"; notice the color of everyone's wardrobe before they get to the hotel and watch how they change (red/white/blue vs earth tones); listen for indian chanting noises at key moments; also Jack meets the devil at 66 mins 6 secs; and what about when jack talks to ghosts?? - is he really talking to ghosts or is he talking to a mirror? idk!!  I could go on and on...Kubrick was a genius and the evidence is in the shining!

They made a documentary about this. it was at sundance this year...about all the hidden meanings in the shining...I think it's all bullshit!

Private Joker!?! I love the name...a bit jealous really. Can't believe someone with that name would ever doubt S. Kubrick.

The truth is there btw...

I see people mentioning 2001, a scanner darkly, and blade runner, all of which I have immensely enjoyed and would recommend one to trip during. 2001 has become 'spiritual' to me through viewings on high LSD and MXE doses. It is just fucking fantastic.

Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is great tripping, although I think Time Bandits is my favorite Gilliam work.

I would definitely recommend The Fountain and Enter the Void, but only if you are prepared for that type of experience. Definitely wiki em' first. Oh, and Bronson is pretty crazy, too.



Anything Kubrick is great for an acid trip, really. This has been mentioned before, for sure

Anything Nolan will induce a mind-fuck, but sometimes it's hard to follow all the dialogue on a really intense trip. I really liked Inception tripping, though.

Here's a few more I cannot recommend more highly:
-Oldboy
-Animatrix
-Ghost in the Shell
-Paprika
-The Tree of Life

Yesss kubrick is god! I have watched all his films innumerable times (except the less kubrickian ones: the killing, killer's kiss, and path's of glory) and I've have made a 'spiritual connection' with pretty much all of them. IMHO Kubrick's films are "high art" and they can reveal a lot of subjective truth to viewer/audience and make very real connections in the same fashion that high art does (with or w/o drugs, the drugs are just a short-cut to make the 'truth' reveal itself faster  haha).

Old boy was a damn good movie but I dont about watching that tripping. the plot was twisted, especially the climax, abd the foreign language/subtitles would be too much for me. when I'm tripping I can't even handle brit films like anything guy ritchie, trainspotting, BRONSOn, not even Clockwork ornge. But assuming your fondness for terry Gilliam, I'm guessing your not American...just a guess

Blade runner wass also sick tripping (even sober). I don't know if you saw the workprint version (with the voice-over) but I actually thought it was better than original tripping.

I can also vouch for Tree of Life, the first 30mins were fucking mind blowing!! [I think] T.O.L. was supposed be told from the perspective of god, so the camera angles were out-of-this-world (literally) and there were all these crazy  jump cuts from all these beautiful landscapes here on earth to these massive cosimc collisions somewhere in the vastness of our universe! It was crazy - good for believers and non-believers alike  ;)

I am actually American :) Mom is a french teacher, though, so was introduced to a lot of Euro 'ish many Americans may or may not have been privy to.

I mentioned Oldboy and I realize now I should mention one need watch it sober first, then tripping, due to not being able to read subtitles while tripping. If you know what's going on already, it's really cool tripping, I think.

It is so crazy that you are mentioning Blade Runner, as I just finished it an hour ago during a pretty intense MXE + weed combo, and I totally agree with you on the workprint version, too! It is so annoying when Deckard is narrating in the other vrsions. And the happy ending and unicorn shit is dumb, too. It makes it way less subjective, making it not good for tripping. Seriously, I cannot agree with you more on the workprint version being best. I got the 5 disc bluray for a reason :D

EDIT: lol, i got confused about the versions you were talking about and derided the version you like, sorry! i havent actually watched the version with dialogue tripping, only sober, and i didnt like it. i will take your recommendation and try watching it with dialogue. I feel like such an idiot, haha. Coming down from the hole and my short term is fucked lol. also, carl sagain is indeed the shit. i was the only one in my bio class that liked the universe lol

I laughed out loud reading this...Blade runner is so redonk with all the differnet versions that are out there, it's impossible to keep it all straight - BR is just one of those movies that was shot 11 different ways to jesus! But yeah, I thought the worlprint was better tripping, it was more surreal like apocalypse now style, and the voice-over keeps you informed as to what the hell is really happeining with the plot - it's easy to get lost when you're tripping ;)

I just figred you were european because I've found that nearly every european (especially brits) think T. Gilliam is one of, if not THE best director of all time, whereas state-side he's a bit more of an unknown (or least less appreciated) director.

But If you really want to take my advice...watch the shining next time you're wigging! you'll thank me later

It will MELT your fucking mind on LSD. Completely melt. You can get the entire movie streaming on youtube but it's better to go out and buy the dvd so you can really enjoy the high quality of the shots. BEST lsd movie..we watched it deep in a trip and kept saying, "holy shit! IS THIS EVEN REAL?!!"

haha, i lol'd, too. yeah, you're right, it is the cosmos. it was 9th grade bio and i had first started smoking pot lol. the universe is something different and also interesting on the history channel

and yeah, gilliam is not as appreciated here, very much. i was attending a little liberal arts school, and some of my more 'EU' friends really like him, but generally, unheard of in the states. if you hang out with the more 'hipster' (hate this word, but applicable) crowds in the states, you might find more Gilliam love, haha

i am definitely definitely definitely going to watch the shining tripping, probably with nbome or lsd, soon. cant believe i havent yet...i fucking love kubrick!

and yeah, the different BR nonsense is crazy, but I got the 5-disc blu ray collector's for a steal, so I am all set XD

"For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love" Sagan is a fucking genius and superstar. Long live the king!

edit: not really even the 'hipster' crowd. that word is just too derogatory, these days. people that tend to like Gilliam in the states are generally the 'arty' types. anyone at a liberal arts school studying in the humanities would have a much better chance at appreciating him than say, your 'average' american. this country is pretty dumb, haha. i discovered him through my mother, a great lover of film and a french teacher (funny thing is, she doesnt really even like Time Bandits, Brazil, and 12 monkeys that much, three of my favs...)

I really enjoy a good episode of planet earth or blue planet while tripping. Always can get down with cartoons especially earlier seasons of south park. Fear and loathing is pretty cool tripping but sometimes its a little too much, gotta be in the right mood. Apocalypse now is great tripping too. Sometimes I'll pop a LOTR in, but I never watch the whole thing. Old goofy 80s movies are always funny too.

I don't think I wanna be tripping when that prick is like "Look at the cute, fuzzy kitten playing and cuddling with his mother.  Over the next two days he WILL DIE SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY."  No thanks.

haha i had to post again yaosh. this is the second time you have made me laugh really hard on these forums :P

but seriously, i agree on the whole watching blue planet or planet earth tripping thing. but, i also agree on knowing what you're getting yourself into, first, hahaha

i also agree on the cartoon statement. more specifically, as previously mentioned, anime. certain animes, especially anything miyazaki, go great with tripping. mushishi, serial experiments lain, and evangelion, to name a few, are some of the more 'psychedelic' anime series i have seen out there...

as for more 'regular cartoons', superjail is pretty nuts if you can handle it, haha. also tim n eric is awesome, but that is live action (i lump it with cartoons b/c of its airing on adult swim) i bet aqua teen could be pretty sweet, too.

i may start an anime thread, as i would love to hear such a great community's thoughts on it

cheers!

This isn't really a movie to watch, but I have three Youtube videos that are amazing while tripping. I'll link you to them here.

1) Science Saved My Soul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6w2M50_Xdk
I don't know why this video works so well while tripping, but it just does. It really makes you understand the universe and the world, and everything seems so clear when that guy talks. Then at the end when the music kicks in you just feel like a rockstar. Everyone's mind will be blown.

2) Storm by Tim Minchin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1U
Tim Minchin is awesome. His rhyme scheme's and brilliant language will also blow your mind, not to mention the cool animation. There's one point where the camera scales back to reveal the earth and some brilliant silence, and this girl I was watching it with while tripping literally just said, "Oh my fucking God." Also mind blowing.

3) The Music Scene by Blockhead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhheiPTdZCw
NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. That's kind of an exaggeration haha, but seriously, this is what you want to watch if you feel like letting your trip take you over. Seriously, go watch it right now sober and you'll begin to understand what that shit will do to you while you're tripping. It's an amazing experience.

i just ordered the blu ray of the shining, woohoo! i have the dvd and a bluray rip, but there's something quite nice about having a physical copy. i cant wait to give it a go :D

i can definitely get down with sartre, my dude. unfortunately a prof i had poked some holes in his philosophy, so some of it for me became tainted, especially his theory on 'consciousness'. i am actually trying to go to school specifically for a continental philosophy centric program. existentialism, hermeunitics, ontology, and all the 'metaphysical mumbojumbo' is really, really fascinating. i think it has helped me grow as a person, too.

 i know this thread is about movies on acid, but reading sartre's  nausea on a low dose was quite rewarding. i had already read it, but the experience of having the acid mindset and feeling along with the existential dread and nausea of the protagonist really created a 'cool' experience. i could almost feel 'la nausee' the way anton did in the book...i'm rambling, but it was pretty neat...

in terms of readings that have really 'rocked my world', i would have to say hegel's 'phenomenology of spirit' has to take that cake. took a lot of re-reading and discussions with a very good prof, but was quite a rewarding feeling to finally 'get it'. but, honestly, i will never truly know if i get that shit. its nuts. i feel the same way about heidegger, haha. beings in beings in beings, yo.

cheers!

will report back on the shining experience, for sure!

FOR REAL NIMBUS!?! you didn't like it! that makes me sad, that was primarily my recomendation ...my cousin just dosed for his first time last weekend, he watched it and thought it was badass, idk, might just depend on what you;re comfirtable with (Romantic Era's gonna try it and like I told him, "re-watch it sober first just so you're comfortable").. Either way though, if you dropped L. you can;t even tell me that the visulas were anything less than spectacular! All those long trippy hallways keep dancing around in the backround like marionettes...and when he stares out the window, you can't tell if his eyes or moving or not! lol!

I think I'm more curious about some of his other movies like Eyes Wide Shut and 2001 while tripping, those might be more fun.

For real though if you ever get around to it, try it again on a heavier dose - see what you think when jack's madness only matches you own    ;)  I actually dont care for MOST horror movies either, but the shining is just a gem...

Wow, I've always been obsessed with Fight Club! I've read the book more times than I can count, and seen the movie about 100 times too haha! ;D Several movies that have always been favorites of mine to watch with Lucy has been anything by Hayao Miyazaki! Not necessarily Studio Ghibli films but Studio Ghibli films directed by Miyazaki, although SG films themselves are cool to watch.

PS: Pandora literally started playing 'Where Is My Mind?' by the Pixies as soon as I started typing about Miyazaki, holy crap what a coincidence! Immediately after I typed how much I love Fight Club.

I recommend Twin Town, a dark British comedy. It's intense in places but can also leave you rolling around in stitches. Not sure you would 'get' some of the jokes though if you aren't from the U.K.

Wouldn't mind watching The Lovely Bones while tripping. Watched it on some K recently and it freaked me out a bit.

Comedies and anime/manga are always a good bet too.

I recommend Twin Town, a dark British comedy. It's intense in places but can also leave you rolling around in stitches. Not sure you would 'get' some of the jokes though if you aren't from the U.K.

Wouldn't mind watching The Lovely Bones while tripping. Watched it on some K recently and it freaked me out a bit.

Comedies and anime/manga are always a good bet too.

man, i am convinced that either i am a pussy, or you and mailmaxdev are crazy! the lovely bones would freaaakkk me the fuck out on acid why would you want that? seems like many bad vibes and an overall 'down' experience

the shining - the fucking patterns on the rug when danny is riding his big wheel through the house are incredible

Alice - stop motion / claymation / live action alice and wonderland reinterpretation by Jan Svaemaker (?) awesome

The Holy Mountain, or El Topo by Alejandro Jodorowsky - mind bending

Begotten -  fucked up

Altered States is great. However it is great without using any drugs, watching some trip scenes when you are tripping balls will make you shit bricks.  ;D

I don't know if i already mentioned this in this thread, and it is not a movie, but i loved watching the FX series "American Horror Story" while tripping!

I personally always HATED television while tripping. Something about it just didn't seem right, or normal. Go outside...enjoy the beauty of God's creation while tripping. Or if it's a night trip...FIRE! (LED lights are an okay substitute, lol)

go to the cinema, then. its really, really rewarding. i have no problem spending my money to see a good movie at the theaters, especially fucked up :D 3d makes me kind of nauseous though. its also a bit gimmicky...seems like two 2d images superimposed to me :/

i saw the artist coming down off 2cb at the cinema. was really high and was just barely able to read the subtitles, too :P had a blast! :D
i wish theyd screen older movies at the theaters more. i am lucky, however, to be in close proximity to a more 'art house' venue that has beautiful murals on the ceiling and i saw the tree of life tripping on acid there and just wow.  ::)  if you can, go to the pictures all fucked up...maybe not on the weekend or to a brand new one,  but just do it and live it the fuck up , yo  8)

I'll admit I didn't read through the whole thread but it would be a shame if nobody mentioned The Neverending Story!

must be mentioned but:
the trip (peter fonda, dennis hopper 1967)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062395/

psych-out (jack nicholson as 'stoney' lol 1968)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063469/

I think the latter has a wild orgy trip scene. nice.

I saw someone else say A Scanner Darkly, and that movie was wayyy awesome.
However, when it comes to my new favorite movie to watch while tripping, it HAS to be Sucker Punch.
The music in there is just way too incredible, and the visuals and colors are amazing.

Watched Tree of Life the other day trippin (Not sure if anyone mentioned that yet).  Wasn't too fucked up (only 1 hit) - and not paying complete attention...was nice to look at though!  Enter the Void was really cool, but I was coming down when I watched it, and had already seen it in the theatre so I knew what I was getting into.  Some the "jump" scenes in that could probably freak you out if you were really far-gone.  Definitely been meaning to check out Holy Mountain...and never would've thought of it as a tripping movie, but kinda want to check out The Shining now - great movie, that I've only seen sober.

hehe im pretty sure i mentioned ToL and EtV earlier  ;) cool stuff to look / think about sober or in the psychedelic mind state, for sure! And yes, K + 25i with the 'jump shots' was glorious and quite daunting, indeed! Right on, man!

Apocalypse now - so surreal it makes it total sense

Not really big on watching movies while tripping but a very good movie is different. I watched Apocalypse Now for the first time on AAkoven's LSD. Awesome experience.

I watched Garden State on acid once. Loved it. I'm a big admirer of Natalie Portman and it felt like I was hanging out with her and getting to know her.

Anything by Tim Burton is just wicked! I highly recommend any Studio Ghibli films as well. ;)
